I'm sitting in Pittsburgh, realizing how futile it is to pick four figures from the annals of Tide football history. So, I decided to go by general position.
Coaches: Wade, Thomas, Bryant, Saban (the only four multiple NC coaches)
QBs: Gilmer, Namath, Barker, AJ (Trammell and Stabler are tough to leave off)
Receivers: Hutson, Homan, Newsome, Julio (Palmer is close)
RBs: Shaun Alexander, Johnny Davis, Humphrey and Trent (hard to leave off Bobby Marlow, Musso, Tony Nathan, Ingram and Lacy)
OL: Hannah, Stephenson, Samuels, Jones
DL: Lyons, Cody, Hand, Baumhower
DE: Thomas, E.J. Junior, Leroy Cook, Copeland (Thomas made more big plays with his hand in the dirt as a rush end)
LB: Jordan, Woodrow Lowe, Bennett, Thomas Boyd (Demeco, CJ are close)
S: Wilcox, Kevin Jackson, Barron, Rashad
CB: Castille, Teague, Langham, Townsend
K: Tiffin, Doyle, Proctor, Tiffin
P: Gantt, Mohr, Bearden, Mandell
